General :: No More Pty - Backup Is Failed - Error Messages
Sep 15, 2009
We have a working backup script which gave no problems ever. But recently the backup is failed giving following error messages,
Statement just before the error occured was, /usr/bin/rsh remoteserver1 /tmp/backup/script.scr
1. The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
2. The system only has a finite number of ptys and you have many of them in use. The usual reason for this is that you forgot (or didn't know) to call "wait" after closing each of them.
So it looks like the system is falling short of the /dev/pty ...atleast I think so. Dont know the real reason.
Whenever I try to take backup from webmin I get following error message. Starting backup of module configuration files to /Applications/backup.tar.gz .. .. failed! TAR failed : I don't understand meaning of this error.
I am trying to backup a client called greetings.com, but when I do an amcheck on the server, I get: WARNING: greetings.com: selfcheck request failed: Connection refused
Our backup script was working fine (ssh to the server, back up /home to a second hard drive on my computer). Then right after an ubuntu update, it quit working. I investigated and found that "something" had changed the label on the backup hdd to what looked like gibberish to me. But the script identified the backup hdd by its uuid, which didn't change. Yet, here is the error I get when the backup fails: receiving file list ... done [took about 5 seconds] rsync: mkdir "/media/14D9-3B1F/server-backup" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(594) [receiver=3.0.6]
Note that the backup hdd IS mounted, uuid is correct, and the folder 'server-backup' DOES exist. Does anyone have a clue for me? I'm moderately experienced in Linux and ubuntu. Our server runs centos 5. And as stated, the backup ran fine for several weeks. I think there was a new linux kernel on that update, but at this point a while later I don't know which one. Current kernel is .2.6.31-22-generic.

I keep getting emails from my 404 error handling system on my CMS saying "mail3.xps.idv.tw:25 cannot be found" with no referer. It would appear that someone is trying to use my server to relay spam to Taiwan. How do I check that my server has the right security to stop this happening?
I have an older version of ggv on RHEL for viewing PostScript (.ps) files, but the binary I have refuses to open files from AFS. ggv-2.12.0 is able to open these files from AFS just fine on my Mac. I was not able to find packaged binaries for RHEL 5 or 6 for ggv-2.12.0, so I downloaded the source and compiled it. Unfortunately, it fails to start, printing these error messages:
[code]...
Does anyone know the fix? Or alternatively, is there another good and well-maintained PostScript viewer for Linux?
I am working in ubuntu 9.x (linux karmic kernal) .I have restored the content from CD to hard disk. In the mid way of this process, it was failed. I would like to know this below thiongs,
1) which position it got failed ?
2)Any offset option is there in linux to point the particular CD position ?
I installed amanda on a client that uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. When I do an amcheck from the server, I get this: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: 192.168.3.23: selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer Client check: 1 host checked in 0.022 seconds. 1 problem found. I am using bsdtcp. I get an ACK error if I switch the client to bsd authentication. I read that I should enter servers adress to hosts file in /etc/ directory?
Just bought a brand new Acer Aspire 5745G, straight away I wanted to install Ubuntu 10.10, I stuck in the cd and rebooted the new laptop that currently only seemed to have Linpus Linux, I then got masses of error messages saying something such as cannot run var/ etc etc and then
It does this for many, many lines then sites there for ages doing nothing and wont allow me to type any commands ( I dont know any command really apart from 'reboot') and then finally after 5 mins or so shows the command prompt [root@localhost /]# but I cant do anything from here.
I've done some searches and found this thread:
url
but startx and system-cofig-display dont work and just says bad commands.
Ive also tried changing the settings so it always reboots from dvd, same problem, made a USB ubuntu start up, forced booting from usb, same again.
When the RPM runs it come up with this error. How do I install the required dependencies? I have added more repositories, but still there are a few dependencies missing. Is there a zypper/sudo -get or something available? Opensuse 11.1 Gnome
the thing that tends to draw out their frustrations the most are the error messages.
Things like "x.x not found, such and such can't continue" or "Unable to locate x.x", etc.
Well, of those people as I described above, a lot of them are fiercely independent people and would fix their own problems had they any idea what they were.
So, I had a thought that adding google or LQ.o search terms to the error messages, along with a link to the search feature, would be somewhat beneficial.
Perhaps with messages regarding missing files, then provide a link and message "To correct this issue, copy filename and submit it here -> url and download the package"
So I was wondering where I could find lots and lots of error message code.
When I do an amcheck, I get this Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check WARNING: noname.com: selfcheck request failed: recv error: Connection reset by peer Client check: 1 host checked in 0.022 seconds. 1 problem found.
I am using bsdtcp. I get an ack error if I switch the client to bsd authentication. What should I do, how do I fix it? I read that I should enter servers address to hosts file in /etc/ directory? Here is the log in /var/log/messages:
I am currently trying to upgrade over 100 rpms on multiple Red Hat servers. Whenever I try to do a rpm -u /packages/*.rpm i recieve a failed dependencies error on the very first rpm. I know that I can go though each rpm one by one and trace each dependency but that will take forever. Is there a way to skip these errors? I know the -nodeps command for rpm but I dont want to screw something up but running all of these rpms on -nodeps
I cannot make any permission change on /var/log/messages.Currently the permission looks like ?r---ws--t 58243 115 59053 1358438049 Jan 10 10:55 /var/log/messages How can i change the permission to root. Already chown failed giving a permission failed error.
I was testing out a new cron job (very simple rsync), and for whatever reason when executed at midnight, the files were not written to the correct drive (executing the script manually does this).
'watching' df -k, I could see '/' fill up extremely quickly. I now have about 10GB~ free space on the 74GB raptor - down from 60GB. I've gone through trying to find the offending files, however I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any variety of 'du' that I know of isn't turning up anything.
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: installing package xen-4.0.0_21091_06-0.1.1.x86_64 needs 27MB on the /boot filesystemI seem not to be able to change the size of the /boot, but 11.2 loads okay but not 11.3There only 19MB left from 66 and I can't make it bigger, I hope there is someone thathas seen this. I would like to see some of the update with XEN.
I made an attempt to backup my system (karmic koala) using this routine. cd / then sudo tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /
The process of backup went on for a very long time, which is probably normal. On returning to the computer in the morning, it was in suspend mode and would not power on via the usual method,tapping power button. So then I used the reset button, and after booting up a message appears on the top right that reports "Install problem! The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator."
Is there something wrong with the statement that was used for backing up the system? Also when I attempt to login it does not work now either, it eventually returns to the login user selection. So is there a possibility the backup finished and then there may be a chance the system can be restored from the backup file? I have tried booting up with a live cd and could use some advice on how to navigate with terminal to root of the system and see if the backup file exist even, have been unable to get to the root folder(where the backup would be) with the GUI method via live cd.
I am trying to create a backup script that will back up a single folder for a class i am in. I was wandering if I could get some help. If possible I would also like to know how to write a script that can encrypt that same file . I will be putting the back up in my /home/usr/Backup directory. I am not trying to back up my whole system just a single folder. I am using Fedora 11
I'm just setting up a partition on a seperate HDD in my system. I plan to use the partition to backup the important files on my main HDD (to guard against HD crash).
The question I have is about where would be the typical location to auto mount this partition? Which would it be normal to go for:
I've got a 3 year old self-assembled system running Ubuntu 9.04, with an AMD Phenom 9850 quadcore with 4G ram on and M3A78-EMH-HDMI motherboard. I'm not really a hardware person, but the assembly was pretty smooth. A year ago (while running Ubuntu 8.04) I started getting messages that my HD was about to die (a 500G Western Digital). I ran out and bought two new HDs, a 1T WD Caviar black onto which I copied everything from the dying drive, and a 500G WD Caviar green onto which I installed Ubuntu 9.04. Everything went fine, except that I couldn't seem to get the system to boot if I removed the dying drive. So I just left it in. I've been getting "About to die" messages for the last year, but I had all the data on the backup 1T drive, and the system was actually running from the new 500G drive, so I didn't worry about it.
Last week the dying drive finally actually died, and the system failed to reboot on the next try, the error message was: Secondary Master Hard Disk Error No IDE Master H.D.D. Detected! Press F1 to ResumeNothing happened after hitting F1. There are 6 SATA ports, 4 red ones (1-4) and 2 black ones (5-6). Sadly, I failed to note which ports the drives were plugged into before I started tinkering. I seem to be able to replicate this error whenever the 500G drive with the master boot record is in a higher numbered port than the 1 T drive. If I reverse that so the 500G is on a lower port number, and if I make sure that the 500G drive has a higher boot priority in BIOS, then I get no error messages at all, but after the POST sequence is finished all I get is a blinking cursor at the top of the screen that doesn't respond to the keyboard (never even getting to GRUB). I can Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot, but nothing else has any effect.......
I install x3270 but not install ll display error given, so how to install that package Warning: /home/mainframe/x3270-x11-3.2.20-4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 73307de6 error: Failed dependencies: x3270 = 3.2.20 is needed by x3270-x11-3.2.20-4
I have SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 running on HP Mini 2133. It's been working like a dream since I got it, but one day I got the following error message when booting it: Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose problem? <Yes> <No>.
X server output says alot of things, but I think this is the most important: (==)Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" ACPI: OSPMOpen Called ACPI: Opening device (EE) VIA(0): No valid modes found
I then get the login:. I'm able to login, but I have no clue on what to do. How can I fix this?
I tried a 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade that went fail. I can now get it to the login screen where it gives a hard freeze. Same with recovery. I can get to a command line, but not with networking so
So I finally said screw it, I'm going to doa fresh install. I downloaded and burned 10.04 at work. Not, it is giving me an installer error when I boot from it, but then it will load the desktop from the LiveCD.
All I really want to do is grab some data that I didn't get when I backed up by home directory, then I can go back and do a fresh install. I can even download a new 10.04 CD if I need to because the installation files are screwed up or something.
The problem is that some of the files have permissions on that that show as an 'X' on the icon and it won't let me copy them to my USB backup drive.
How can I copy the files marked with an 'X' that have this permission issue?
Today i upgraded my system and started getting error when i update, install or remove a package. The error isn't restricted only to one repository so i thing something is wrong with my system.
